Will The Sixers Elevate Their Game Down The Stretch? (PST Episode 656)

Author: The Philadelphia Sports Table February 26, 2026 Duration: 58:08
The Philadelphia 76ers are back on the court after the All-Star break. Fans are trying to figure out what direction this team is heading as they’re certainly not in a rebuilding mode. How might the latter part of this season shape their future? This week, Sean Barnard from Fox Sports Philly’s The Gambler, DraftKings, and Crossing Broad joined us for a great discussion about this team, players we’ll be keeping our eyes on, and how they can be successful down the stretch.
But first, the guys dove into some Phillies Spring Training storylines. (Approx. 5:35)
From there, they got into how the Phillies broadcasts are changing as Taryn Hatcher and Mike Schmidt will no longer be part of the NBC Sports Philly team. (Approx. 11:45)
The guys then talked about a few Eagles offseason storylines as the offensive line is coming back in full, the A.J. Brown trade nonsense, and how the front office will be prioritizing a cornerback opposite of Quinyon Mitchell this offseason.. (Approx. 17:55)
They also got into whether or not the Flyers season is lost at this point. (Approx. 30:05
What they threw down on the Table this week was a great and in-depth conversation with Sean Barnard from Fox Sports Philly’s The Gambler, DraftKings, and Crossing Broad about this Sixers team. They analyzed V.J. Edgecombe’s development, Tyrese Maxey’s importance to the team - short-term and long-term, and brought back their “Up or Down” segment as they looked at a bunch of talent on the roster. All of this and much more this week on the Table! (Approx. 38:05)
